Let's break the Most Users Online counter!

This might be a bad idea, but it would be silly if we could try to break the "Most Users Online Ever" record by rallying everyone we know to log in to the forums at a certain time. From what I can tell, you don't have to register to be counted, so you can get family members to log in on their devices too!
All we need is a time and a date. To make it easy to get around the time zones problem, let's all use UTC, Universal Coordinated Time. A converter can be found here: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx
Probably the best thing to do is to log in at a certain time, and browse the forums for at least 15 mins to give other people time to join.
I don't have a date, but how good is 09:00 - 09:15 UTC for you people? It suits me.
Leave time suggestions below, and I'll edit this post with a final definite time and date once I figure out what is best.
Good Luck!

I would say 12:00 AM, if you mind. Almost everybody should be awake at that time.

That is, if you can get more than 129 people at the exact same five-minute margin. Not really possible to do.

Tried to do a topic about this too and it got locked!

I remember Patrick saying something before that the 129 users online was some sort of glitch with the forum software. Either that or there were a lot of robots on the site that day.
Also, I too have made a thread like this one time when I first joined the forums. :lol:

I even don't think here are 129 users left who come at least once a week...

Well, there are usually 10-20 unregistered users online at any one time. That's about 10% of the total! It's a start...
